The station, called Polish Radio for Ukraine, is also available worldwide via DAB+ digital technology, Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
Launched in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it can also be listened to on VHF frequencies in Ukraine, thanks to transmitters in the capital Kyiv and the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
Moreover, Polish Radio for Ukraine can be heard through the public broadcaster’s web player, mobile app and the moje.polskieradio.pl website, the IAR news agency reported.
News, commentary, music
Catering to the needs of refugees from Ukraine and Poland’s Ukrainian community, Polish Radio for Ukraine offers news, commentary and music content.
Listeners are kept up to date with events in Ukraine, including the situation in Russian-occupied areas. The station also provides information and advice to refugees from the war-torn country, including on how to deal with paperwork and obtain assistance in Poland.
Half of Polish Radio for Ukraine’s programming is created and presented by journalists from the Ukrainian Section of Polish Radio’s External Service, also known as Radio Poland.
These broadcasts are aired from Radio Poland’s Warsaw studios every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., according to officials.
